That ##$%%&! pipeline decision
It is a travesty of a decision; one that fails both the sniff and giggle test.
More puzzles for Americans
Although Canadians doubtless are the epitome of virtue in their own minds, the ICC thinks otherwise.
U.S. depending on 2012 election to bring some clarity to road ahead
Regardless of the electoral outcome, Remembrance/Veterans day next year will have a different resonance in the United States.
It’s not your father’s Moscow anymore
‘Our’ Soviet Union was epitomized by Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. All gone. In its place is something new—and to a casual, albeit attentive observer, considerably better.
The virtues of the INF Treaty: it worked
It eliminated Soviet intermediate range ground launched missiles.
Asbestos and the nanny state
Asbestos is hardly the only product with invidious effects if not employed with care and discretion.
Tory suppression of Liberal vote? How curious
Consequently one might conclude that it was not the brilliance of Tory machinations but the failures and shortcomings of the Liberal Party that resulted in its May 2 catastrophe.
Oh (fortunate) Canada
But the cycle has reversed. The United States is mired in what could become a 'double dip' recession with unemployment persistently above nine per cent, job creation for May equaling Canada's with one-tenth the population, GDP growth for the first quarter
Americans don't pay enough attention to Canadians, eh?
The across-the-political-spectrum spewing over Harper's three Senate appointments coincidental with his Cabinet announcement is another puzzler.
Memorial Day 2011: a perspective
So America's mood is mixed. Living near Arlington National Cemetery, one cannot escape the tragedy of individual deaths marked by the stone forest of monuments, bedecked with individual U.S. flags for the day, marching across the landscape.
U.S. Department of State's human rights report: considerably more positive about Canada than Amnesty International
The HRR is a legacy of the Carter administration's focus on human rights and has placed human rights problems as a 'front-burner' issue in virtually all USG diplomatic, foreign policy bilateral, and multilateral relations.
Thinking about Libya: Qadaffi/Khadafi/Gaddafi/Gadhafi, or just plain 'Daffy'?
What many observers seem to have forgotten is that Gaddafi is a revolutionary. Not a monarch. Not a stooge of the national military establishment. And certainly not a believer in democratic rule-of-law, League of Women Voters rights and freedoms. Revolut
Chua writes about 'Tiger Mother,' but what about 'Tiger Children?'
Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is getting slammed by critics. Food for thought: it is easier to restrain noble stallions than to prod reluctant mules but, perhaps before practising her snarl, every mother should first determine whether the bes
Road trip or finding the president's mojo
Whether it was a thumping, a whupping, a shellacking or just a plain unvarnished electoral defeat, Nov. 2 marked a sea change in the Obama presidency.
Time for Obama to make another visit to Ottawa, find his mojo
The Prime Minister can ignore the naysayers who might argue a state visit requires more preparation, etc. The answer is simple: just tell protocol to Get It Done—it won't cost as much as the G8/20 events and would move bilateral relations from the '
It's important to remember past and future wars
This year Remembrance and Veterans Day had a slightly different tinge, it was emotional in the U.S.
WikiLeaks document deluge remains a diplomatic, public relations disaster
Forewarned is forearmed, but however useful the 'forearming,' WikiLeaks releases were a nasty body blow.
Who lost the UN, a morality tale?
Losing to Germany was predictable and not surprising; in world poundage, Germany is a heavyweight. But losing to Portugal? Portugal!
Divided we fall and Americans are fragmenting day by day
So we now have circumstances where the right has become the cult custodian of the 9/11 memory, and Glen Beck's massive 'Honour America' event on the Washington Mall was described as akin to a massive church picnic—but sans Democrats in an audience e
